Our message tonight is out of the depths of one of the most remarkable of all of the evidences of the presence of God among His people and in His Holy Word to be found in human experience and in human literature. In our preaching through the first book of the Bible, the Book of Genesis, we have come to chapter ; and this is an outline of the course of history under the hand of God with His people for thousands of years in advance.
To show you how remarkable it is, if you can predict the future for two minutes I'll tell you how to be a multi-billionaire and to do it in a very short time. All you need to do is to be able to prophesy – to foretell the future for just a matter of seconds – and you'll be the richest man who ever lived in all the earth. It's very simple. All you have to do is to know a few seconds before a stock that's going up or a stock that's going down, buy it on the Wall Street exchange, and in no time at all you'll be a multi-billionaire. All you have to do is to know just for a few seconds the future, and you'll be the incomparable rich of the earth.
You see, we don't know the future. You don't even know whether you're going to live through the night or not. You may be dead before the morning, and it's a sad commentary that there are those who might rejoice that you are not going to be alive when the sun shines. We are unable – absolutely and completely and positively, we're unable to know what any day will bring forth; and that to me is the background of the wonder of this study into which we enter tonight in the forty-ninth chapter of the Book of Genesis.
Gather yourselves together and hear, ye sons of Jacob, and hearken unto Israel, your father.
So he speaks to them just before he dies of what is to happen to them individually and to the race that they sire. So he begins with his firstborn, Reuben. "Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power. Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel" [Genesis :3-4].
Then he tells him why and reminds him of a dark, unthinkable compromise in the life of Reuben when he went to bed with one of the concubines of his father – an impossible breach of the son of a wonderful and godly man [Genesis 35:22, :4]. So when he says to him, "Thou shalt not excel," this first child of Jacob and Leah, there's not anything ever that ever comes out of Reuben. Nothing at all. "Thou shalt not excel" [Genesis :4]. There's no judge; there's no prophet; there's no prince; there's no person of renown; nothing ever develops out of the tribe of Reuben. He chose for his settlement on the other side of the Jordan and vanished altogether [Joshua 13:13-23]. This is the firstborn. This is the one who should have inherited the blessing. This is the one who should have possessed the birthright. He possesses nothing at all. What a tragedy – Reuben.
Simeon and Levi . . . instruments of cruelty . . .
O my soul, come not into their secret . . .
Cursed be their anger, it was fierce . . .
An amazing prophecy: "I will divide them in Jacob" [Genesis :7]. Simeon's allotment was down toward the south, toward the land and country of the Philistines [Joshua 19:1-9]; and because of that awesome thing that Simeon and Levi did in deceiving the Shechemites and slaughtering every male in their midst because of what they had done to their sister – "their fierce anger" Jacob calls it – they did an atrocious and unbelievable thing in shedding human blood [Genesis 34:1-31]. Their division out of Jacob, out of the sacred land of allotment, was final. "And as for Levi, I will scatter them in Israel" [Genesis :7]. Levi had no inheritance, and the Levites lived in all of the areas up and down in the holy and Promised Land [Joshua 18:6-7].
Judah is a lion's whelp; from the prey . . . thou art gone up. He stooped down, he crouched as a lion . . . who shall rouse him?
Can you imagine such a thing? The fourth son, he inherits the blessing. "Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise" [Genesis :8]. "Judah" means praise, and he is a type of Christ. He is the one to whom his brethren shall give obeisance. The neck of his enemies he will make regnant, bring to pass. There shall bow down before him the dream of Joseph [Genesis 37:5-8] as fulfilled in Judah; bowing down, all of those sheaves make obeisance to Judah. And he is the lion of the tribe of Judah [Hebrews 7:14; Revelation 5:5]. Who shall rouse him up? Who shall stand in his presence? And this ultimate and unbelievable prophecy: "The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto Him shall the gathering of the people be" [Genesis :10].
The scepter is a sign of authority. It's an emblem of legislation and government; and the father, Israel, prophesies that Judah will be regnant, and established, and be in existence until Shiloh come. All of the rest of Israel was destroyed: the ten tribes went into captivity, and you do not know what became of any of them [2 Kings 17:6-41]; but the prophecy is that Judah will continue until Shiloh comes [Genesis :10].
And when Israel was carried into captivity into Babylon [2 Kings 24:1-25:30], Judah is the one that returned [2 Chronicles 36:22-23; Ezra 7:13; Isaiah 44:26-28]; and that's where you gain the word "Jew." The part of Israel and the part of Jacob that continued through the centuries is Judah, the Jew. He came back; and he continued as a people and as a nation with a capital at Jerusalem until Shiloh came. And when Shiloh came, Judah was lost in rejection and unbelief, and now for these two thousand years since has been absorbed and unknown in the nations and families of the world.
The Jew: is he from Judah? The Jew: is he from Benjamin? The Jew: is he from one of the ten lost tribes? We don't know nor do they; but Judah will be a kingdom and a government until Shiloh comes – a prophecy that came to pass for thousands of years [1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles]. And when Shiloh came, the government and the nation became one of oblivion [Hosea 3:4-5; Acts 1:6].
Now, I want us in just this moment that remains to look at that word "Shiloh." "The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto Him shall the gathering of the people be" [Genesis :10]. That's the only place in the Bible where He is named "Shiloh," and it is one of the most mysterious of all of the names for our Lord to be found in God's holy Word. Shiloh: from the root shalom, shala; and the scholars for the centuries and the centuries have studied it and sought its ultimate and final meaning.
And I have here four or five of the scholarly suggestions made as to what Shiloh, in its root meaning, could refer to. First, there are some who see in the root the same background as found as in the name "Siloam" – "sent, the sent one." He's the One who is the messenger from God's heaven, and He represents the court of the great King in Glory. Shiloh: "the sent One."
Then there are some scholars who see in it the same root as in the Son – the Son of God. Shiloh represents the Lord God in heaven. The revelation of the Almighty Omnipotent is found in Him; then the Son also as He's identified with us: bone of our bones, flesh of our flesh, the glory of humanity centered in Him. "Shiloam, Shilah": the Son of God and the Son of Man.
Then there are those who see in "Shilah" the root meaning of "to whom it belongs," and that is the meaning to be found in the Syriac and in the Septuagint: "for whom it is reserved." You find that word in Ezekiel 21:27: "Until He comes whose right it is, and I will give it unto Him." He is the One to whom all adoration, and love, and worship belong. He's the great Creator. The scepter belongs to Him – to Shiloh. He has a right to reign and He only.
Then one other: there are those who see in the root of Shiloh the word "peace," shalom, peace. He's the peace-bearer. He's the rest-giver. All the gold in the world and all the land in the continents never bring peace to the heart. If we find rest, we find it in Him. He said, "Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" [Matthew 11:28]. Shiloh: the one who brings us rest.
And a last: "And unto Him shall the gathering of the people be" [Genesis :10]. That comprehends all people, not just the Jew. It also includes the Gentile – not just white folks, but black folks, and yellow folks, and red folks. That doesn't mean just the favored nations of the world; it means the third world nations also. "Unto Him shall the gathering of the people be" [Genesis :10]. And centered around the cross is the great gathering of God's dear people.
That's one of the most impressive of all of the feelings, remembrances, I have of these journeys I used to make for over thirty-five years around the world preaching through the nations of the world. It is a remarkable thing in the heart of Africa standing there with those half-naked people in a church house made mostly of mud with a thatched roof, waiting for my introduction to preach to the people jammed, standing in a church house that wouldn't begin to hold the throngs that were present; and right back of the pulpit, a picture of our Lord and the caption above the likeness of our Savior: "Jesus is the answer to every human need." And standing there with those half-naked, darkened, benighted people – sickness, poverty, ignorance: Jesus is the answer.
Wherever the gospel has gone, there will you find healing, and schooling, and the uplifting of the human family and the human life, and the blessing of little children beside the glorious promise of a world that is beautiful and yet to come. "Unto Him shall the gathering of the people be" [Genesis :10]. Wherever in the earth the cross of Christ is lifted up, there flow blessings incomparably dear and precious. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we are included in that beautiful assembly of those who are gathered around the cross of our Lord?
O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength, be not afraid; Say unto the cities of Judah, "Behold your God!"
He shall feed His flock like a shepherd; He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.
That's our Lord gathering His people together.
And one other observation: it must refer to the final asides and the final gathering of the people of God. There shall come some day a midnight cry, and the trumpets shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and the living shall be caught up to meet our Lord in the air [1 Corinthians 15:50-57; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17]. And thus in the denouement time, in the denouement of history, all mankind and all humanity shall be gathered before the feet and the throne and the judgment seat of our blessed Lord. "Unto Him shall the gathering of the people be." The saved shall stand before Him to be given the rewards of their service in His blessed name [2 Corinthians 5:10].
And finally, the great white throne judgment when the lost are brought before that same Lord Jesus and are consigned to everlasting perdition because they refused the overtures of God's love and God's grace [Revelation 20:11-15].
O Christ in heaven, what a heavy assignment God has given to us to make known the saving love and grace of our Lord Jesus! Some day, every one of us – saved or lost – some day, every one of us shall stand in the presence of that living Lord: we who are saved to rejoice in His love and mercy, and these who are lost, with weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, to face an eternity in darkness and judgment. O God, save me, Lord! O God, save the lost, and help us to bring to them the message of hope and assurance.
And in this moment we're going to sing us a hymn of appeal, and I'll be standing here before the pulpit. And if there is someone in God's presence tonight to whom the Holy Spirit makes appeal to look to Jesus who died for your sins that you might be saved – "and Lord, open my heart to receive the grace of our Lord Jesus; and openly, unashamedly, I'm accepting Him before men and angels" – you come and stand by me. If there is a family to come into the fellowship of the church, if there's someone you to whom the Holy Spirit has made appeal, on the first note of the first stanza, come; and God bless you in the way while we stand and while we sing.

Never-ending tensions in the Ankara-Washington dialogue
With the S-400 missile defense system's delivery around the corner, tensions are escalating between Turkey and the United States.

With the S-400 missile defense system's delivery around the corner, tensions are escalating between Turkey and the United States. The Turks are committed to buying the Russian system despite Washington's threats. The Pentagon's most recent letter to Defense Minister Hulusi Akar, which included a long list of threats, did not change Ankara's mind either. Addressing the Justice and Development Party's (AK Party) parliamentary caucus on Tuesday, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan took his earlier statements to the next level: "I am not saying that Turkey will buy the S-400 defense system. It already has. We have concluded [the deal]. We signed a reasonably priced contract and secured a promise of joint production. God willing, [the S-400] will be delivered to our country next month."
Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu added on Friday that "we have counter-measures to respond to potential U.S. sanctions," warning that "NATO protects merely 30 percent of Turkey's airspace." Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Mike Andrews responded with a curious statement, stressing that the U.S. values its relationship with Turkey, its strategic partner, and noting that the relationship was not limited to the F-35 program.
How can we account for this statement, which was not in line with the Pentagon's incessant threats? Could things get better soon? Did Andrews make a gesture of goodwill before Erdoğan's upcoming meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump in Japan?
There is an ongoing interagency discussion on Turkey. The U.S. government is debating how it should respond to the Turks, committed to buying the S-400 defense system, and how they can manage the coming trainwreck's aftermath? In other words, they are trying to find out how Washington's relations with Turkey can be rescued from the brink of collapse.
Their conclusions remain to be seen, yet there are three options available to U.S. decision-makers. First, Washington will remove Turkey from the F-35 program and slap on heavy economic sanctions. If the U.S. chooses this option, which the Pentagon and the Congress advocate, July 2019 will be remembered as a historic breaking point in bilateral relations.
The second option would involve Turkey's removal from the F-35 program without further punitive steps. In this case, however, the administration would have to stop the Congress from passing aggressive resolutions about Ankara. The U.S. could thus prevent Turkey from further strengthening its defense cooperation with Russia. It would also leave room for recovery.
The third and final option is to accept Turkey's offer by forming a joint committee on the S-400 system and maintaining cooperation on the F-35 program and elsewhere. Although Trump agreed to those requests, the Washington establishment seems unlikely to go with it.
The remarks by Erdoğan and Cavuşoğlu left the ball on Washington's court. Mutual sanctions could further strain Turkey-U.S. relations. For a long time, Ankara has been keeping a lid on tensions with Washington by compartmentalizing the relationship. Washington, however, did not keep any of its promises to the Turks since 2013 and ignored Turkey's legitimate security concerns. Washington took zero steps to address Turkish grievances regarding the Halkbank case, the Manbij agreement, Fetullah Gülen's extradition or military support for the People's Protection Units (YPG) terrorists. A proposed safe zone in northern Syria, too, remains on the table. Just this week, we have seen media reports about Washington delivering armored vehicles to YPG militants.
It would seem that Erdoğan's upcoming meeting with Trump represents the last way out of this mess.

The speakers John Gahagan and Joe Camay.
THE Cowdenbeath FC 100 Club is hoping to top the £8,000 it raised for the club with its 2018 dinner, at this year's event on Saturday May 4.
The highly successful fundraising organisation, set up by fans, has arranged for its second annual Sportsmans Dinner to take place after the last home game against Clyde on May 4 in Wee Jimmies. The cost per ticket is £35.
Said the 100 Club's Brian Lumsden: "Last year we raised over £8,000 from the dinner which we ultimately donated to Cowdenbeath FC along with our normal donation from the 100 Club lottery – so we can maybe claim some credit in helping the club make headway this season when compared to the last two (no relegation play-off this season).
"Hopefully, we can help the club build on that progress going forward".
Added colleague Craig Bennet: "Last season's dinner was a roaring success and we would look to replicate that with the speakers this year Joe Camay and John Gahagan, with cub chairman, Donald Findlay, once again agreeing to be our host for the evening in his own inimitable style!
"Messrs Gahagan and Camay are at the top of the tree on the after-dinner circuit so if you are looking for a good night out and some great laughs Wee Jimmies is the place to be after the Clyde game".
Tickets are available and can be arranged by contacting Brian or Craig– alternatively if you advise Cowdenbeath FC they will liaise with Craig and Brian. Tickets, as aforementioned, are on sale now priced £35 – be quick they are likely to be quickly snapped up.
John Gahagan, the ex-Motherwell and Morton player's tales of woe about life in and out of football have whipped up a comical storm at every conceivable venue. An audience of 1,000 diners at the Grosvenor House Hotel, in London, saw John win another speaker of the year award. John's record to date is now: Five times invited to Speaker of the Year Awards. Five times winner! Whether flirting with triumph or disaster John's philosophy has always been the same...you've got to laugh!
Before starting comedy full-time in 1992, Joe Camay had been a telephone engineer, a bookie and ran a unisex clothing store.
Joe's comedy ''career'' began at the sharp end in social clubs and he had a quick taste of TV when he appeared in a comedy series with amongst others, Alan Stewart and Dave Spikey.
In the succeeding years he has appeared on TV with the likes of Alistair McGowan, Bill Bailey, Lee Evans and Fred McAuley, Bob Monkhouse and Des O' Connor, as well as in numerous theatres around Britain.
Joe has performed on North sea oil rigs and in prisons. Over the last few years Joe has mainly worked the Sportsmen's after-dinner circuit, where he has created a niche for his brand of grown-up humour.

How a former LA gang member became a multimillionaire entrepreneur
October 11, 2016, 4:55 p.m.
Ryan Blair is a high school dropout and former Los Angeles gang member. Now, at 39, he is a multimillionaire CEO, venture capitalist and best-selling author.
While his first book, "Nothing to Lose and Everything to Gain," details how he overcame adversity, Blair's new book, "Rock Bottom to Rock Star," serves as a play-by-play tutorial that demonstrates how others can overcome professional and personal challenges.
"'Nothing to Lose' is how I did it. 'Rock Bottom to Rock Star' is how my readers can do it, too. I got a lot of feedback of people asking me specifics about how and the prescriptive advice," Blair told Yahoo Finance.
As an adolescent, Blair ran away from home and lived in a toolshed for a year. He was arrested 10 times by the time he was 16. However, he eventually found a mentor in his mom's boyfriend who gave Blair his first job at computer support provider Logix Development. He quickly climbed the corporate ladder there to become vice president.
Blair started his first company, a tech support firm called 24/7 Tech, when he was 21 years old. He has been the CEO of ViSalus, a company that markets weight management products and energy drinks, since 2005.
Despite his tumultuous background, Blair says his upbringing gave him the grit and resilience needed to endure any roadblocks, both personal and professional, that stood in his way. After he wrote his first book, his mother was left in a coma and his son was diagnosed with autism.
"I believe I'm the luckiest person in the world because I was born at the right place at the right time with the right talents and with the right adversity," he said. "Because I lived in a turkey coop, when I was starting out as an entrepreneur, I knew I would never go back there."
Echoing the title and message of his first book, he says it's precisely because he truly had nothing to lose that his aversion to risk was nonexistent.
"Most people don't start businesses because they're afraid that they have something to lose. For example, the middle class, they may have a mortgage, they may have a car payment, they may be trying to keep up with the Joneses and so they're afraid to start a business or they may be comfortable in the middle class," he said. "I didn't have that comfort zone. I was always uncomfortable."
But now that he's CEO of a company and runs a venture fund, he says he hopes his success doesn't squelch his entrepreneurial spirit.
"Nowadays my biggest challenge is I have everything to lose. So am I able to still operate with that same mindset of having nothing to lose?" he said. "Because innovation is happening at such a rapid pace, companies are getting killed today faster than ever because some entrepreneurs are [disrupting] big companies with that same mindset of having nothing to lose."

German labour representative says Ford execs have offered talks on restructuring plan
FRANKFURT (Reuters) -Ford executives have indicated they are willing to hold talks with labour representatives over planned structural changes at the U.S. carmaker's plants in Germany, the head of the worker's council at Ford's Cologne plant said on Saturday.

Rheinmetall moving towards order backlog of 30 billion euros - CEO

Мост Ататю́рка (), также известный как Мост Ункапаны () — автомобильный мост над бухтой Золотой Рог в европейской части Стамбула в Турции. Соединяет районы Бейоглу на северо-востоке и Фатих на юго-западе, является продолжением , который начинается в районе Аксарай и заканчивается в районе Ункапаны. Нынешний мост открыт в 1940 году и назван в честь Мустафы Кемаля Ататюрка, основателя и первого президента Турецкой Республики.

История
Первая версия моста была построена в 1836 году и называлась мостом Хайратие и соединял кварталы Ункапаны и Азапкапы. Строительство моста Хайратие было заказано османским султаном Махмудом II и контролировалось Ахмедом Февзи-пашой, вице-адмиралом османского флота, в Имперском военно-морском арсенале на Золотом Роге. На открытии лично присутствовал султан Махмуд II в 1836 году, который пересёк мост на своём коне. Первоначальный мост имел около 400 метров в длину и 10 метров в ширину и был построен как разводной мост для прохода больших кораблей.

В 1875 году его заменил второй мост из железа, построенный французской компанией по цене 135 000 османских золотых лир. Он имел длину 480 метров и ширину 18 метров и оставался в эксплуатации с 1875 по 1912 год, когда был снесён из-за истечения срока службы.

В 1912 году близлежащий Третий Галатский мост был разобран и снова собран на месте снесённого моста Хайратие, став третьим мостом на этом месте. Он использовался до 1936 года, когда был повреждён штормом.

Текущий (четвёртый) мост в этом месте был построен между 1936 и 1940 годами и введён в эксплуатацию в 1940 году под названием Мост Ататюрка. Его длина составляет 477 метров, а ширина — 25 метров.

I am using a 32 bit ubuntu 14.04 LTS system with R 3.0.2. I am new to R and newer to Linux, so detail would be greatly appreciated.
It would be good to update your R to the latest release (3.1.2), which will also get you the latest Bioc (3.0) and likely also fix these problems.
The problem is that the RSQLite package has changed. As a Linux user, your solutions are to either update to a current version of R / Bioconductor (I believe for your version of R you can follow the 'Upgrade Installed Bioconductor packages" on that page) or to install the previous version of RSQLite by downloading the RSQLite_0.11.4.tar.gz tar ball and installing it via install.packages("RSQLite_0.11.4.tar.gz", repos=NULL). The easiest route for Mac and Windows users is unfortunately to update to the current version of R / Bioconductor.


Annunciation Byzantine Catholic Church is a very beautiful and decoratively rich Catholic Church in Anaheim. You can see religious art through icons and paintings on the walls and ceiling. The stained glass is also a real work of art. You will recognize the church by a large, dark blue dome topped with a cross. Worship follows the Byzantine Catholic tradition. There is a gift shop.

US Vice President Mike Pence and Venezuela opposition leader Juan Guaido agreed on a strategy to tighten the noose around President Nicolas Maduro following a meeting with regional allies in Colombia on Monday.
US Vice President Mike Pence accused Washington's European allies of trying to break US sanctions against Tehran and called on them to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal, during the Warsaw ministerial conference on Thursday.
The United States and European powers voiced sharply differing views on issues from Mideast security to trade Saturday, laying bare a deep trans-Atlantic rift in the era of US President Donald Trump.
US Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday hailed the symbolic importance of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "breaking bread" with Arab leaders at a Mideast conference in Warsaw, saying he hoped it heralded further cooperation to come.
Vice President Mike Pence said Thursday that Iran is plotting a 'new Holocaust' to obliterate Israel.
Thousands marched in Washington calling for a shutdown, but not the government's. They want to shut down the abortion industry. And President Donald Trump threw his support behind their effort at this 2019 March for Life.
President Trump spoke with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan Sunday about a 'negotiated solution' for Syria, where the withdrawal of U.S. troops has alarmed Kurdish allies of America who are considered terrorists by the Turks.
Efforts to resolve a government shutdown fight have been at a standstill since Saturday, when Democrats rejected a White House proposal that reduced President Trump's $5 billion demand for a border wall and offered flexibility on just how solid the wall needed to be.
The federal government remains in partial shut down after Congress and President Donald Trump failed to reach an agreement on $5 billion in spending for his border wall.
A recently elected female congresswoman is facing backlash for mocking Vice President Mike Pence on Twitter.
Refugee Status for Burma's Chin Christians Due To Be Revoked By U.N.
A new decision by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) will prevent Christian refugees from Burma's Chin State from extending their refugee status beyond December 31st, 2019.
Did you know members of President Donald Trump's Cabinet meet weekly for a Bible study? CBN News was the first to report on it and according to one regular attendee, Secretary of Energy Rick Perry, the group is still going strong.
In an interview with CBN News, Vice President Mike Pence brushed off personal insults aimed at his Christian faith.
Vice President Mike Pence on Thursday announced the first steps in the Trump administration's bid to establish a standalone military Space Force by 2020, including creating an elite group of space troops in the same vein as current special operations forces.

The Beatles Live At The BBC Volume 2
Coming almost 20 years after the release of the two CD compilation that comprised live recordings and interviews with the band at BBC studios all over Britain between 1962 and 1965, Apple is set to release The Beatles Live at the BBC Volume 2.
This is reported to have more unreleased material that the BBC have dug up from their archives and it was previously thought to be lost due to the narrow minded policy that the BBC had of wiping and re-using tapes. This policy was upheld in BBC television too and has resulted in the loss of many hours of material, including the Beatles and John Lennon's solo appearances on Juke Box Jury and the Beatles last live appearance on music show Top of The Pops in 1966. It is really quite despairing that, without the use of a DeLorean fitted with a flux capacitor, we will never get to see this wonderful material.
The reported cover art for the second volume of BBC recordings.
The Beatles, due to the constant pressures of fame, touring and studio work stopped giving live radio appearances on the BBC in 1965, despite promises from Brian Epstein, their manager, that they would continue. As their worldwide fame increased, radio was something that they had outgrown and didn't need anymore.
But at least the BBC have found something that we can at least listen to and I for one am looking forward to hearing some wonderful unreleased material that has been gathering dust all these years. Along with the new CD will be a book 'The Beatles: The BBC Archives: 1962-70' written by Kevin Howlett, who has authored two other books about the Beatles at the British Broadcasting Corporation.
The Beatles Live at the BBC Volume 2 goes on sale October 10th.

Feel worse...

if I was a Southampton fan and stayed up ,with all the players leaving ,than I do with our relegation.Obviously I want success for Norwich but would it be really worth it if what has happened at Southampton was to happen here ??

Utterly ridiculous situation.Saw a report that Schneiderlin and Rodriguez could be on their way to Spurs.Crazy.Not so sure it would have happened to us though, not enough of our players had a good enough season (obviously) and really Southampton were definitely at a level above us. Really we only have 2 or 3 players that clubs covet, and not any clubs in the top six.

That''s true Morty. though even if we''d stayed up I think other clubs would have been after Fer and Snods. The question is whether they are willing to pay enough, as Hull did.

According to a Saints mate of mine, they are getting as much cash in as possible before selling the club. He is distraught, as you would be. Mind you, after he told me "Norwich are back where we belong", I have been taking the p1ss a lot....

That was the team on the opening day of last season.

This was the summation from the BBC in January: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25755711
(sorry - I''m rubbish at working links)
In effect, what Cortese did for Saints was right along the lines of what Dave Brailsford did for the British & Sky cycling teams. Liebherr Sn bought right into his philosophy (that''s why they worked so well together), Liebherr Jr didn''t.
All Katharina Liebherr has wanted since inheriting the club is a sale - perhaps by selling it piecemeal, in her world, she''s onto a winner.
This is all very sad from any football fan''s perspective, surely. This was perhaps the one big throw of a foreign owner''s dice that looked like it would work - in it for the long haul and working towards glory as opposed to just buying it. Only once again it''s turned into "be careful what you wish for"...
With both the main men (Cortese and Pochettino) gone and a ridiculously depleted squad it''ll certainly be interesting to see what happens over the next few months.
Still, that''s football...

i think the reaction to our relegation can be defined by whether you go to Carrow Road to see City or the opposition

I''ll no doubt get shot down by many, but this is another illustration of why in the long term there are advantages in having a genuine fan with the best interests of the club at heart and in control. Being a trust fund''s or an oligarch''s plaything leaves you exposed if they get bored. Mind you we don''t know how this will turn out yet- Koeman seems to have been a good catch and presumably would not have taken the job had he known this was going to happen. Much will depend on whether they spend any of this money in the next month, if not then the intentions as described above must be pretty close to the mark.
It is a shame really. Even if you have the most loyal player, if the money is good, they will go (think Carroll at Newcastle who didn''t want to leave but £35m on the table, the club wanted him out!)
Compared to how it''s gone at some clubs, i''m happy to have a well functioning team to support. So long as that is the case, we''ll have our years of decent finishes in the premierships and our years back down here. Hopefully the days of no money are behind us and we never go through the Roeder years or the league 1 years again but I am more or less certain we''ll be above Southampton at least once in the next decade, likewise most teams outside the top 7 at some point.
In football, it''s all swings and roundabouts until you fall off, so hang on and enjoy the ride.

Still, that''s football...[/quote]It could be, LQ. I don''t know enough about Southampton (I keep myself busy enough getting it wrong about Norwich City!). But it could equally be a sensible owner not wanting to fall foul of Financial Fair Play. The Swiss version of Prudence with Ambition.There are penalties/limits if your wage bill is above £52m. In 2012-13, their first season back in the Premier League, their overall wage bill (if this is the relevant figure) was £47m. Two seasons on (in effect) then that £52m will certainly have been passed. And there are limits on the losses allowed, with the amount of the loss allowed dependant on whether the owner has injected money into the club by way of shares.I can understand Southampton fans being apoplectic and apocalyptic at the moment, but it could be Liebherr is looking after the long-term future of the club. Or she could be gearing up for a sale...

My impression is that there are many folk who would willingly trade Delia in for someone with a huge bank balance. I agree with you, but I suspect that many fans are more fickle and would get some sort of kick out of us splashing out on £25m "name" players here and there.

I have a lot of dealings with Southampton FC through my work. I''m down there usually once or twice a month so feel I have a pretty good grasp on their situation.
The fans have been surprisingly relaxed about the player sales, possibly most upset about Chambers who they feel left too early and for a ''fair'' price (the rest being overpriced).
Although Libherr Jr doesn''t have the same passion for the club as her owner and would probably sell at reasonable price, she has the same goal as the fans. The better the club is doing the more she can sell it for. The club isn''t costing her any money and she''s happy for those running things to carry on.
The management are classic pragmatists, they know they can''t convince players set on leaving to stay (and it is counter productive to do so) but have made sure they''ve made too dollar for them.
If I was a fan I''d have complete faith in Les Reed and the exec board they have there in finding new players - the ones the club have chosen (over those managers have chosen) been good to excellent - flipping Lovern for a £14m profit in one season is pretty special.
Also, the quality of the young players they have is incredible, clubs usually manage one or two over a number of seasons but Southampton are producing one or two a season at the moment (expect to see Taggert, James Ward-Prowse, Sam Gallagher and Isgrove all make regular appearances this season).
Basically, while most clubs'' fans would be flipping out right now, most Southampton fans are taking it pretty well. Guess that is what comes with knowing your club is being run well and having a bit of faith.
And hopefully that is the position we will be at in a few seasons, regards the youth etci''m not too sure what the club''s position is with regard to debts, so maybe like us who it now seems used the PL to clear the debtsDrop back for a breather then head back after a cracking season in the Chumps
Southampton were debt free when entering the Prem, they were bankrolled by their now deaceased owner to get them there. That''s how they paid £1m for Lambert while in League One and paid Lallana £20k a week in the Championship.
If Norwich have half the academy Southampton have I''d be delighted. This is the club that produced Bale, Walcott and Ox-Chamberlian before they even made the Prem. I do know some of the academy directors are worried about EPPP though, they think it could mean no club outside of the top 5 or 6 clubs in the country will be able to produce top quality talent.

6 years of an amazing journey #saintsfc DESTROYED in 1 hour !!!


In a continued effort to engage with our local community and spread the word about scalp pigmentation, this year HIS Hair will seek to have a presence at major local events across the country. We're happy to announce that one of the first major events that we'll be participating in this summer is the 44th Annual San Francisco Pride Celebration this Saturday and Sunday at the San Francisco Civic Cent in downtown. An event steeped in rich history, SF Pride is more than just a celebration of diversity, but an event that salutes forward thinking and tolerance. And beyond the celebration and parade, SF Pride is also a grant-giving organization through its Community Partners Program. Since 1997, SF Pride has granted nearly $2.3 million dollars from proceeds of the Pride Celebration and Parade to local non-profit LGBT organizations and those organizations working on issues related to HIV/AIDS, cancer, homelessness, and animal welfare. HIS is proud to take part in the 2014 SF Pride and look forward to be apart of many more community events in the near future. For info as to the HIS Hair booth location, please check our Facebook page.


Life Drawing encourages you to develop your own visual language as a catalyst for creative thought and a means to develop greater visual literacy. The importance of observational drawing in the contemporary context can be observed by investigating the key conventions and precedents of the life drawing mode. By working through a series of practice led lab sessions investigating ways of evaluating, describing and illustrating the various elements of a visual image such as shape and form, space, line, values and texture, you will learn to apply, test and boldly question these techniques through the development of your own conceptually driven project. In addition to studio based activities and production where you will develop a portfolio and establish archives of source material that you can draw on for future creative and scholarly endeavours, you will participate in peer-evaluation and undertake theoretical research.

Q: Dictionaries and Maps in PHP This problem accrued while solving a problem in Hackerrank. The  problem statement is here. We can solve this problem using Java (using Map and HashMap) or Python. But while i try to solve the problem in PHP, i am getting a termination error. This is because the code is taking too long to execute. For a smaller file size the code is working properly but for larger one it is giving error (Terminated due to time out). How Mapping is done in PHP? Is the code is wrong? Is there any better way to optimize or get the code working properly?
The sample code is below
<?php
$myFile = 'text1.txt';
$lines = file($myFile); //file as array
$n = (int)$lines[0];
$array = array();
$check = array();

foreach ($lines as $line)
{
    list($key, $value) = explode(' ', $line);
    if ($value !== NULL)
    {
        $array[$key] = $value;
    }
    else {
          $check[]=trim($line);
    }
}
$len=sizeof($check);

for($i=1;$i<$len;$i++) {
$flag=0;
    foreach ($array as $key => $value){
        if($key===$check[$i]) {
            $flag=1;
            echo $key.'='.$value.'
';
            break;
        }
    }
    if($flag===0)
    echo 'Not found
';
    $flag=0;
}

?>

A sample input to the file

File one Download text1.txt file here
File two Download text.text file here

Note: text1.txt file is working and the problem is with text.txt
  file(larger file).

A: For anyone who wonders what the question is:
You have a input like this:
1
taha 1234567
paksu
sam
taha

and the asker wants you to fill your phone list with n (the first integer) records, then check for the given keys from the input. the query count is variable. And the asker wants you to write
name=number

if the record exists, or
Not found

if it doesn't.

Check this code:
<?php
$_fp = fopen("php://stdin", "r");
$n = intval(fgets(STDIN));
$dict = [];
for($i=0;$i<$n;$i++){
    $vars = explode(" ", fgets(STDIN));
    $dict[trim($vars[0])] = trim($vars[1]);
}
while(!feof(STDIN)){
    $str = trim(fgets(STDIN));
    if(isset($dict[$str])){
        echo $str . "=" . $dict[$str]."\n";
    }else{
        echo "Not found\n";
    }
}

?>

It passes all the tests. It's not about PHP, it's how you write your algorithm.

A: <?php
$_fp = fopen("php://stdin", "r");
$n = intval(trim(fgets(STDIN)));
$phoneBook = [];
for ($i=0; $i<$n; $i++){
    $lines = trim(fgets(STDIN));
    $arr = explode(" ", $lines);
    $phoneBook[$arr[0]] = $arr[1] ;
}
$query=trim(fgets(STDIN));
do{
if(array_key_exists($query,$phoneBook)){
    echo $query,"=",$phoneBook[$query],"\n";
}
else{
    echo "Not found\n";
}
}while($query=trim(fgets(STDIN)));
?>

Here's my solution.
